Performance monitoring question for 2000

  • Hidely ho!

    A little background: I have SQL 2000 running on a Windows 2000 machine.  Being new to this company, I was not around for the installation of either.

    The problem: I am attempting to tune and optimize each SQL server here which has been long and arduous but rewarding.  It is so nice to see the little users faces when you bring 4-5 runtimes down to under a minute.  Anyway, I have run into a server that will not allow performance monitoring.

    Looking into the syspefinfo table, I found no data.  This is not a clustered server and the login is not the problem.  I just have no counters from which my programs can grab performance data.  I went through the MS data and am currently going over what I have found there.

    My question is: has anyone here run into this?  If so, what did you do to fix it?  Also, what would be the purpose in disabling these counters?

    A big thanks in advance!

  • Hi,

    1. Can you see SQL performance counters in System Monitor?

    OR

    2 Download Scriptomatic tool from Microsoft website

    Run it (scriptomatic.exe), it will unzip the following files: scriptomatic.hta and "Write WMI Scripts Like the Pros.doc"

    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&familyid=9ef05cbd-c1c5-41e7-9da8-212c414a7ab0

    Double-click on scriptomatic.hta, it will open like a screen with "Begin By Selecting a class" dropdown.  Click on it. Scroll to the middle. See if

    WIN32_PerfRawData_MSSQLSERVER....     performance SQL classes are there

    Click on any SQL Server class. Click Run button. Can you see results?
